They communicate mainly in grunts, exasperated hand gestures, annoyed sighs, grimaces to signal their profound disgust that you're in their store, and cheery banter like 'I have no idea what you're talking about'. In terms of value, you can buy one handful of brass nuts and bolts for $50. I strongly recommend seeking out alternative nut suppliers.

This is the second time we were sold the wrong color paint one was Rex terrier and now we just…read morere-decorated our foyer and hall our painter brought in the can of paint and the numbers for what we wanted. It's the same color. Our daughter has well he brought it home and he painted and the more we're looking at it, we thought it was way too late. Then we went to our daughters and realized we had the wrong color on our walls. Our painter went back. They gave him a real hard time and gave us a free can of paint. Meanwhile, we have to pay the painter to repaint. I think that is totally unfair. It is their fault and they should reimburse us the cost of the Painter.

I have been to my fair share of large and smaller paint and hardware and stores. As an artist, I…read moreneed and appreciate the help and personal attention when it comes to mixing paints that I never get at the 2 big chain stores in every town across America. I never feel rushed or ignored at Rings End. I have tried a few paint stores in and around this area and Rings End has won me over. Thanks for your patience with big orders of small cans of paint. I will be back. My goal in life is to avoid large impersonal companies when I have the choice to support local, mom and pop and smaller chains when I can. Rings End is neat and clean. They also have window shades to order and other services.

Over the past three months I stopped by Downes and Reader discussing what wood to use for a rustic…read morefarmhouse table. Everyone there were helpful and patient understanding I wasn't a professional. In the end my father and I decided on walnut based on the greyish tint it had. It's also a hardwood not often used for these tables. My suggestion is if you're not knowledgable about hardwoods but have an idea. Bring some ideas and then talk to the guys who work here.

The manager of this store is rude and incompetent. She lost my order information, so when my…read morecontractor went to get it, I had to leave work in the middle of the day to replace it. No apologies. Then she said it would be there on Thursday, now, maybe Monday. If she were honest about the timing, we would have gone somewhere else. We are on a tight schedule. She sits at her desk and makes customers fetch things for her so she doesn't have to move. Just wretched. I feel sorry for her coworkers, who all seemed like nice, helpful, knowledgeable people. I'm sure they are constantly picking up the pieces for her. I wish I never stepped foot in this place.

You can count on professional expertise with each visit. I've visited three times and the last one was to finalize my choice from their inventory and have it work with counter top options from another firm. I know that everything will look beautiful.

I was looking for a black granite stone. My fabricator had called, and they told her they had some…read more So I stopped by to look. I walked in and spoke to Matt. He showed me some stones. I did not realize my fabricator had spoken to Anthony on the phone. It started a commission game. I found one slab that I really liked, but I needed two. They gave me the runaround and sent me pictures of different stones. They kept telling me they only had that one slab. I made 3 trips down to Milford, all a waste of time. I told my fabricator I wanted another slab of the one I had seen and for her to call to see what she could do. She called them and was told they would get another slab from another location and to give it time to arrive, so she told me only to stop by the next day in the afternoon. I stopped by in the afternoon and was greeted by Anthony, who eventually told me they had the second slab in the warehouse the whole time. When I asked why I was not told that from day one, he kept making excuses that were horrible. From my understanding, it essentially came down to a commission game. He wanted the commission, and since I had walked in and spoken to Matt, he didn't want Matt to get the commission. Very weird experience that cost me 4 days of lost time on the remodel and 3 different trips down to Milford from Newtown. I will not use them again. Very unprofessional. It was ridiculous!
